I didn't realise what a furore I would cause when I said Mary's black dress was Diana-ish...I meant it in that Diana was partial to the one shoulder gown and after she turfed Charles, her style became shorter hemlines and higher heels...So I see this evolvution happening with Mary (not that she has turfed Fred) but she seems to be growing more confident, with Fred almost 10 years, married for 6 years, almost mother of four, approaching 40 years old and maybe evenly Queenly responsibility, maybe Mary figures her time to be daring and adventurous in a fashion sense is running out....So she is doing a sprint and embracing the time she has left as a young and carefree woman and I like it :)

While Mary was coming down the steps of the plane, Fred was already greeting people. Mary is pregnant, in high heels, surely the chivalris thing to do would be to watch and make sure she didn't trip. It just looks a bit uncaring IMO. Everyone else would wait until he did that. Speaking of Fred, he looks ill and a little untidy -sorry, just my opinion.

With all due respect...let's give CP Mary some credit. She is a physically fit woman in fantastic shape who is accustomed to being pregnant and wearing heels. If she had any concerns about walking down steps and wearing heels, then she could have worn flats instead. She is pregnant and her baby bump is not that big that she can't see in front of her. She took her time and walked down the airplane steps as she should have done. She is also still carrying out her solo official duties so it isn't like CP Frederik is going to be around all the time to watch and make sure she can go up and down steps.
What was even more precarious to me was the official event where she and Frederik were feeding the penguins, given how uneven the ground was. But she managed that perfectly!!! So no worries!

It´s so nice to see Mary and Frederik in Germany. I think she looks wonderful during the whole visit. And after seeing her "live" in Stockholm in June, i have to say, that she is one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen.
